Depends: This depends on body weight, speed, up or down hill and type of equipment used lets say you ride on level ground on a good road bike. No wind. You can calculate based on these formulas for various speeds10 mph -- 0.17 calories/pound; 15 mph -- 0.2 calories/pound; 20 mph -- 0.25 calories/pound; 25 mph -- 0.3 calories/pound; and 30 mph -- 0.38 calories/pound.

Far Less: Far less than you might imagine. All depends on cadence, resistance and time. There are tables to estimate this, but weight is a factor because it will relate to work done to move it. No easy calculation. Let's just say less than 2 chocolate chip cookies worth. (USAT Level 1 coach)
